I'm by no means an expert, but don't 3.x and 4.x puppies use the same kernel? I think that means they can use the same driver package.

I have this current .pet running my 4.0 puppy and it DOES work for me. No more refresh lines in my movies anymore._________________"In a world that exists without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?"

I am completely new to linux so please bear with me.
I just recently installed puppy 4 and then installed openFOAM, the open source cfd program.
when i launch the paraFoam (paraview) , a viewing postprocessing tool to view the results, i get msg in the console window

Xlib:mixing "GLX" extension in display "0.0"

is this the problem with display driver? honestly i dont know what display card i have but it is a acer travelmate 270.

please kindly help me with a instruction on wher to download and how to install the or perhaps before al lthis, how to determine my display card type.

Brilliant nvidia drivers. I was struggling to get xorg working with anything other than a generic driver on the HurtMePlenty puppy. Then I discovered your pet which worked perfectly, and now I can use the external monitor as well.

My Laptop is a Sony VAIO VGN-SZ71MN/B with NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS in case anyone else has similar model. The pet I used was: NVIDIA-100.14.19-k2.6.21.7.pet

Thanks very much, I'm off to game land now.

PS: I found it useful to start with Xvesa then
install pet - Exit X - run xorgwizard - restart X

Hi, I am new to puppy. I have puppy linux on a dell latitude d520. So far everything has worked very well and I am very happy with it. However, dual monitors are necessary for my work. When I start xorg the monitors are mirrored. I have looked at what other people's suggestions and tried to install nvidia and enable the "twin view" option. When I install nvidia, i exit out of x and go into xorgwizard. The xorgwizard recognizes two different screens (it asks for the resolution for each) but when x starts (i type xwin) it goes back to the original xorg.conf file.

At the moment, I run puppy from a USB, which may be the problem. I have tried all the different versions of nvidia.pet that are available and none seem to work. Does anyone know how I can install nvidia? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,any one pleas:
I can not let nvidia Geforce 6100 work with any of the driver list above.
My computer:
cpu: AMD 2800+
mainboard:T6100 with on board nvidia Geforce 6100(c51 GPU)
memry:ddr 1G+512M
os:puppy 4.2(k2.6.21.7)

I have test all the driver above,and test other nvidia driver for puppy,after install,I reboot the computer,the sys can not start the xorg,but the Xseg is ok.I check the err file log,It show me "can not load the nvidia dirver kernel".So,is the version of puppy(k2.6.21.7) can not use these driver?The other version I hav'nt test.
plese help me.Forgive my bad English.

nvidia-9643.pet for most nvidia cards (officially Gf2 to Gf4 but have tested on Gf7 OK).

nvidia-100.14.19.pet for latest cards (Gf5 to Gf8).

All available at http://download.tuxfamily.org/nop/

The pet packages install modified nvidia pkg1.run files to /tmp.
After this is complete drop out of X [ ctrl alt backspace ] and at the prompt enter install_nvidia and accept the defaults.
Then run xorgwizard and test the required resolution and finally run xwin.

I am running the very latest Puppy Linux (Lucid; kernel 2.6.33.2). Will your drivers work on my Creative 3D Blaster Annihilator Ultra (GeForce 2 Ultra chipset) or must I go to an older version of Puppy?

I am trying to get some remaining useful life out of an old Pentium II 266Mhz system I have, with 384Mb of RAM. Trying to find an OS that I can run from CD and then do builds of Haiku from... and various versions of Linux seem to be the best path for that.
